Author's Note, Hey guys Z-king here with a song request from Jad the dog. This one is set in Crystal Falls universe involving Steven wanting to prove himself to his Mom Rose Quartz (remember in this AU she is alive. Question on that check Minijen's tumbler page on Crystal Falls).

Proud of your Boy.

Steven sat on his chair as he tuned his ukulele, as he did that he noticed that one of the communication orbs was vibrating.

Steven knew that means an emergency was happening soon Rose Quartz came down the stairs fast and activated the orb.

"Rose here what is happing?" Steven could barely hear what was being said or who was talking from the orb as Rose held it close and away from Steven but he could guess it was Stan, Ford, Amethyst or Pearl. Whoever was calling it only means that danger is happing.

"Don't worry I'll be on my way," Rose said shutting off the orb. She went to get her sword, then patted Steven on the head and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"I'll be back soon, honey," Rose smiled as she started running out to the door she was about to reach the door handle when Steven spoke.

"Can I come with you?"

Rose paused and turned to her son. Awkwardly Steven tried to pull a strong pose to show how brave he looks.

"I've been practicing really hard," Steven explained, "I could be of great help out there."

Rose giggled, "Steven that is cute of you to say but it is okay you don't have to-"

"But I do, Mom!" Steven shouted, startling Rose a bit. Steven felt embarrassed for shouting. "Sorry. It's just I really want to help out more. I just…I just want to be like dad."

Rose showed concern on her face then remembered the emergence. She looked back outside then at her son.

"Steven," Rose started, "I-we will talk about this later." And with that she ran out the door.

Steven sighed as he rubbed his face. This happens all the time. "Why does she always see me as a helpless baby? I've been learning lots of skills and trick from the Pines family I could do help out there," Steven thought.

Steven looked up at the portrait of both his Mother and Farther both wearing their war cloths but held each other in love.

Then Steven picked up his instrument and started playing.

Steven:Proud of your boy.

I'll make you proud of your boy.

Believe me, weak as I am mom your in for a present surprise.

Steven sat up and looked at the portrait again.

Steven: I've wasted time I've wasted me.

Some say I'm slow for my age, a late bloomer, okay I agree.

Steven lowered his head sadly.

Steven: That I am one foolish kid.

Some son, some pride and some joy.

But I'll get over these lousin up, messin up, screwin up times.

Steven then looked back at the portrait with determination.

Steven: You'll see, Mom now comes the better part.

Someone's gonna make good, cross his stupid heart.

Make good and finally make you.

Proud of your boy.

Then Steven placed his ukulele down and started going through stuff that he thinks would be useful in any serious situations and put them into his Cheeseburger backpack.

Steven: Some say I might be a louse and a loafer, you won't get a fight here, no Ma'am.

Some say I'm a goldbrick, a goof-off, no good, But that couldn't be all that I am.

Then Steven paused again and saw his old wooden made shield. A gift from his farther before….Steven picked it up and looked at it and grabbed the strap under it.

Steven: Water flows under the bridge.

Let it pass, let it go.

There's no good reason that you should believe me, not yet, I know, but…

Steven then thrust his shield up in the air just like his farther did when he announced his rebellion years ago.

Steven: Someday and soon.

I'll make you proud of your boy.

Though I can't make myself taller or smarter or handsome or wise.

Steven lowered his arm and once again looked at the portrait.

Steven: I'll do my best, what else can I do?

Since I wasn't born perfect like Dad or you.

Steven looked at the door then he walked towards it, gave one last look at the portrait as he opened the door.

Steven: Mom, I will try to. Try hard to make you.

Steven looked out. Determined to prove himself.

Steven: Proud of your boy.

Then he ran where the battle is, with hope to show his mom and himself that he can do great things like his parents.

The End.

Author's Note: Well I hope you guys like this. It was originally going to be set in the main Universe Falls universe but then I thought setting it in Crystal Falls was a better idea. What do you guys think?
